Out of all our holy days, it is Sukkot that the Rabbis singled out for the special mitzvah of joy. This comes from the Torah. In Deut. 16:13-15 we read “On the holiday of Sukkot…You shall rejoice in your festival..and you shall have nothing but joy.” The beauty of the outdoors, the physical satisfaction of building and then eating in the sukkah, the signs of growth that the four plants of the lulav and etrog represent – these are all part of this joy for me.

But there is one thing I enjoy even more – and that is celebrating this holiday by visiting the sukkot of friends. I like to see their creativity at work. And I like to see if they have ideas I can borrow for decorating, celebrating or just enjoying new foods.

This year I want to invite you to join the First Hebrew family for a Sukkah Hop. We will meet at the synagogue on Sunday, Oct. 19 at noon. From

there we’ll set out to enjoy a light progressive meal in several different sukkot around our area. We’ll say the brakhah for eating in the sukkah together, and we’ll have a lulav and etrog for anyone who would like to fulfill that mitzvah as well. Most important – we’ll have fun with family and friends as we rejoice together on this beautiful holiday.

If you think you will need a ride, please call the office to let us know. And feel free to contact me (at the office, or [email protected]) if you have any questions.

I look forward to seeing you for a lovely afternoon of sukkah eating, singing and rejoicing.

Judy and I and our children Ita, Miriam and Uriel wish you and yours a Hag sameah, a truly joyous holiday.

Happy Jewish New Year


LET’S WELCOME RABBI PASKIND TO FHC! “The Jewish New Year is not only a clean slate for each individual, it’s also a new beginning for our congregation as a whole under the leadership of Rabbi Lee Paskind.’ Jeremy Krantz, President, FHC

Rabbi Lee S. Paskind brings to First Hebrew Congregation more than two decades of experience as a Conservative Congregational Rabbi. His soft and welcoming approach to people from all types of backgrounds, and his ability to connect with young and old alike make him a leader everyone can gravitate and respond to.

Since joining First Hebrew in mid-August, Rabbi Paskind has begun to weave together new and existing programs, as he continues to listen to the needs and desires of FHC members. Our synagogue’s emphasis on family outreach and social action are initiatives that are “dear to my own heart,” the Rabbi readily admits.

With an eye towards future generations, Rabbi Paskind has already started an email program for college students. “The goal is to keep this vulnerable population connected to synagogue and Jewish life,” he explained. For families, he plans to make services more interactive, and therefore more attractive and enjoyable for all. On Shabbat, his sermons will sometimes give way to studying portions of our prayers. “Understanding the prayer service, and why we do what we do is important to making people feel comfortable in synagogue,” the Rabbi firmly believes.

He has also begun to work closely with Sharon Memis and Frances Weiner who have launched a monthly Friday Night Family Service for young children. Child-friendly books will enhance this service, and special activities are planned. Likewise, he is working with our Board of Trustees, Board of Education, Ritual Committee, and others at FHC to create a smooth transition and even better programming.

Like First Hebrew Congregation, Rabbi Paskind also has a long tradition of community service and interfaith associations. From 2001-2004, Rabbi Paskind was the Chair of the Social Action Committee for the Rabbinical Assembly of America. He was also a founding member of his community’s crisis intervention group, and co-founder of a group that trained interfaith volunteers to care for home-bound seniors. He’s now joined the Peekskill Area Pastors Association in their community-wide efforts.

The common thread Rabbi Paskind uses to reach out to people of all ages and stages in life is his use of the teachings of the Torah as they apply to issues of modern life. For example, in expanding adult education, he plans to discuss the Torah and gene therapy, fertility, organ donation and end-of-life issues. With our Hebrew High students, he’ll relate Torah to eating disorders, drugs, alcohol and other religions such as Islam.

“I see synagogue as a place for caring and learning,” believes Rabbi Paskind. “My role is as facilitator, to help my fellow Jews challenge themselves to grow both spiritually and as contributing members of society.”

Rabbi Paskind is a graduate of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, and received an Honorary Doctorate for 25 years of service in 2005. “We’re lucky to have Rabbi Paskind and his delightful wife, Judy, join First Hebrew Congregation…Our future is looking great,” declared Jeremy.

President’s Message

It would be an understatement to say that I look forward to the year 5769. I am excited and thrilled when I think about FHC and its future. I am hopeful that we can realize our potential as a beacon of Conservative Egalitarian Judaism in Northern Westchester and that we can provide more services, both religious and social for our Jewish community. I am hopeful that FHC can grow its membership and the benefits it offers to all.

Let me also take this opportunity to welcome our new spiritual leader Rabbi Lee Paskind and his wife Judy. On behalf of FHC we welcome the Paskind to our community with open arms and open hearts. I am hopeful that the Paskind will feel comfortable in their new home and that the FHC family becomes an extension of their family.

It is never easy to leave a community that you have lived in for many years and then start anew. Everyone at FHC should make a concerted effort to be compassionate, caring and helpful to the Paskind as they join us in our collective journey. Together, let us have a prosperous, productive and joyous New Year.

On another topic, as we all focus on the Presidential election and the dynamic Presidential tickets that now have an African American Presidential candidate and a Female Vice Presidential candidate, we are now starting to see the benefits of the American melting pot and the efforts of the Civil Rights and the Women Rights movements. It is incredible that in my lifetime I can say that the glass ceiling for race, sex and religious beliefs continues to be broken.

I am thrilled that no matter what happens in the Presidential election, we will have a first that will shatter the *White-Male lock *on the Executive branch of our government.

Let us hope that the day may come when a person running for office in the United States is no longer categorized as a Black candidate, Female candidate, Jewish candidate, or a Gay candidate. Let the “person” be categorized by their political positions, moral values, voting record and lifetime accomplishments.

Shalom,

Jeremy Krantz, President

Message from the Hebrew School Principal,

Noah RuffMy name is Noah Ruff and I am an eighth grader at Blue Mountain Middle School. I have many

passions in life, including karate, acting, drawing, and playing the trumpet. I am a black belt and have acted in several shows in New York City. When I grow up I want to be a cardio thoracic surgeon, a chef, or a special artist.

Over the past few months I have volunteered at the VA hospital. I accompany Rabbi Kupchik and help him perform Shabbat services with the residents on Fridays. Throughout the past several months I have met and connected with several people. I enjoy spending time with the residents and I think they enjoy having me there.

I would like to thank several people who helped me prepare for my bar mitzvah. First, Rabbi Kupchik for my bar mitzvah lessons, going with me to the VA, and of course for services every Saturday. Thank you to all my Hebrew School teachers and the many Hebrew School principals I have had over the years. And, thank you Alice Krochmal for helping me prepare my haftorah and torah portion. Throughout life, I will continue to follow the traditions of Judaism.

Dear Parents, Students, and Congregants,

We are in the heart of the autumn holiday season and entering the second month of the school year. During this time we also enter a very special structure, the Sukkah. The school children prepare festive decorations, the parents prepare food, and the teachers prepare an educational program. Although it sounds simple when we enter the Sukkah together something very magical happens. In the most intuitive of ways we connect with our traditions, our history, and Jews everywhere in the world who observe this ritual.

There are many explanations for why we observe this ritual. Whatever the reason though, the act of observing the ritual of constructing, sitting in, and, sharing a meal in the Sukkah brings us together as a community and reinforces all of the good reasons that we are collective in observing so many of our rituals. This is a group effort in every way with

every member playing an important role. Our children see the adults in our community coming together to create an experience which teaches as well as models the values we want them to acquire.

In the end the structure is a temporary one. After a week we take it down and are left with the sweet memories of cool autumn days outside in the Sukkah. We are left, however, in addition to memories with important lessons. Although many of the structures we build may be temporary the collective efforts which we engage in every day bring us closer as a community. They reinforce the customs, traditions, and heritage of our people and connect us to the larger Jewish community. Perhaps most important they foster in our children a thirst for knowledge and a desire to give meaning to as well asbuild their own Jewish lives.

Bi’Shalom

Message from Men’s Club

As the High Holidays are upon us, I want to suggest that each of us considers ways that we can be more involved in the activities at FHC. For you men out there, one way is to come join us at our Men’s Club breakfasts and participate in the activities we are planning for this year. This month’s breakfast is on Sunday, October 26 at 9:15. Gives you a chance to start your day with some hearty eggs, lox and onions and bagels and, most importantly, leaves you plenty of time to get home for the Giants and Jets, and certainly in time for the Mets (or Yanks, in respect of my co-president) world series game that night. Hope to see you there (at FHC, and at Shea if someone can get me a ticket)!

"Sisterhood...Women Enjoying Jewish Life“This is the statement that the Sisterhood

Executive Board has come up with, which you will be seeing frequently. It is our way of summing up our experience and welcoming all to participate in our programs and activities. Our programs of course include our monthly meetings but also much more. We collect tzedekah for distribution to worthy charities both local and large scale. This is not limited to monetary collections but also includes canned goods and our annual drive to collect needed items for a battered women's shelter. We provide the flowers that grace the Bimah during services for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. We provide the food for the congregation to break the fast at the conclusion of Yom Kippur and the apples for the joyful celebration of Simchat Torah. In addition, Sisterhood organizes and prepares the annual Book of Remembrance, the Shalach Manotpackages for Purim, donates the Siddurim for the Aleph class, our members organize and lead an annual Shabbat morning service, and we generously support First Hebrew Congregation.

We count on your support in order to carry out all our programming. These things are simply not possible without the active participation of the women of this congregation. Please join us for our next meeting on October 5th. Daniella Rosen of Four Sprouts Floral Designs (and the FHC Beautification Committee) will lead a flower arranging workshop. We will also have a lovely french toast breakfast. Everyone is welcome for what is sure to be a great morning. Paid-up Sisterhood members will receive a token of our appreciation. We will be happy to accept membership payments in advance of the meeting or at the meeting. Please contact Zhila Radparvar if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you there.

Shalom,Mindy E. Steinholz SpockSisterhood Executive Board

DonationsIf you have any spare school supplies lying around your house, the Peekskill Community Action Project will be happy to take your donation. They are located at 709 Main Street in Peekskill and they're there from 8:30 in the morning (the woman's name is Mary and her phone number is 739-1451). While it's kind of late for back-to-school donations, they always have families coming in looking for stuff.

Arab NewspaperA Jewish man was sitting in Starbucks reading an Arab newspaper. A friend of his, who happened to be in the same store, noticed this strange phenomenon. Very upset, he approached him and said: 'Moshe, have you lost your mind? Why are you reading an Arab newspaper? 'Moshe replied, 'I used to read the Jewish newspapers, but what did I find? Jews being persecuted, Israel being attacked, Jews disappearing through assimilation and intermarriage, Jews living in poverty. So I switched to the Arab newspaper. Now what do I find? Jews own all the banks, Jews control the media, Jews are all rich and powerful, Jews rule the world. The news is so much better!'

Why are we asking you to donate your time to helping out with Bingo? It generates approximately $20,000 in revenue per year to our operation of the synagogue. The time commitment is only about three hours on a Wednesday night. We now start Bingo at 6:30 pm so you and our customers can get home earlier. If you are opposed to fulfilling your obligation as a member, then pay the $400 Bingo assessment immediately and let Lisa know to take you off the Bingo list. As a member in good standing it is your obligation to participate in this fundraising activity. If the congregation chooses not to continue providing Bingo to the community and forfeiting the OPM (other people’s money), then the congregation will need to be assessed accordingly to raise the $20,000, or determine what services will be cut. Do your part of fundraising and show up for your assigned Bingo night. Bring a book or magazine to read (there is time when you are waiting). If you come late, it is still better than not coming at all. Or, if you choose, send the $400.

Joe Louis & the Jews In the history of American sports, few titles

have carried as much status as that of boxing’s heavyweight champion of the world. As a symbol of virility and power, boxing titles have been a source of pride for ethnic, religious and racial groups at least since the nineteenth century. In the 1920's and 1930's, American Jewish champions Benny Leonard and Barney Ross became heroes to their people. Contenders Max Baer and Maxie Rosenbloom proudly wore Stars of David on their trunks in the 1940's and 1950's, as did recently retired middleweight boxer Dana Rosenblatt.

An American Jew has never held the heavyweight crown, but American Jewry closely embraced Joe Louis, an African-American, as their own when, in June of 1938, Louis knocked out Max Schmeling, Nazi Germany’s best heavyweight. American Jewry claimed Louis’s knockout victory as their own. In their eyes, Schmeling’s humbling by a black man refuted Hitler’s argument that German Aryans constitute “master race.” Art Buchwald, who grew up in New York, recalled that as a child in 1938 he was sure of three things: “Franklin Roosevelt was going to save the economy...Joe DiMaggio was going to beat Babe Ruth’s record, and Joe Louis was going to save us from the Germans.”

Louis might not had a chance to fight for the heavyweight title if a New York Jewish promoter, Mike Jacobs, were not his manager. Born on the Lower East Side in the 1880's, by the mid 1930's “Uncle Mike” Jacobs had become the sport’s leading promoter. In 1942 alone, Jacobs promoted 250 boxing cards and in the course of his career staged 61 champion fights. He excelled at developing a fighter’s public identity.

Jacobs recognized Louis’s boxing talent, but also knew that, as a black man, Louis would have a difficult - if not impossible - time getting a title shot. Jack Johnson, the flamboyant and self-confident previous African-American heavyweight champion, won his crown in 1908, but his relationships with white women created a backlash that led to Johnson’s conviction on a morals charge and the stripping of his title. The next black champion, if there were to be one, would have to be low-keyed, polite and circumspect. He would have to be marketed as representing all Americans, not just African-Americans. Jacobs was the man for the job.

Jacob recognized that American boxing crowds, and particularly the numerous Jewish fans, ached to see Schmeling and Primo Carnera, an Italian heavyweight and symbol of Mussolini’s rise to power, defeated by an American fighter. In the early 1930's, Schmeling and Carnera had each briefly held

the world title. In 1934, the first fight that Jacobs lined up for Louis was against Carnera. The young Louis knocked out Carnera in six rounds. In 1935, Louis knocked out Maxie Baer in the fourth round, setting up a showdown with Schmeling to determine who would be in line to fight the reigning champion, Jim Braddock.

While many in the Jewish public longed for Louis – or anyone else – to conquer Schmeling and embarrass Hitler, some Jewish groups opposed giving Schmeling a world platform. Several of them applied pressure on Jacobs to cancel the Louis-Schmeling fight. Jacobs replied that Louis would defeat Schmeling, giving the lie to Nazi propaganda. More than 45,000 fans filled Yankee Stadium expecting to see the “Brown Bomber” defeat Schmeling. They left disappointed. After a lopsided battering, Louis was knocked out in the twelfth round. Hitler cabled Schmeling to congratulate him on his “splendid patriotic achievement.” (Despite Hitler’s embrace, Schmelingwould later prove a “righteous Gentile” by harboring several Jews from arrest and deportation to the camps.)

Schmeling had earned the right to fight for Braddock’s crown but Jacobs and Braddock’s Jewish manager, Joe Gould, decided the American public would rather not run the risk of seeing Schmeling, as one sportswriter put it, “take the title back to Germany and present it to Adolf Hitler for the German Museum.” Jacobs guaranteed Braddock a whopping $500,000 payday to fight Louis instead and the match was made. Louis knocked out Braddock and became champion. As historian Peter Levine observes, the fight “launched Louis’s reign as one of boxing’s greatest champions and secured his place as a hero of an oppressed American black population It also set the scene for one more battle with Max Schmeling that enhanced Louis’s status as a hero for all Americans.” One might add, and especially for Jews.

Jacobs promoted the second battle between the two men, in June 1938, as a confrontation between democracy and fascism. When Schmeling’s ship docked in New York it was met by hundreds of anti-fascist pickets. The Non-Partisan Anti-Nazi League and the American Jewish Congress again urged Jacobs to cancel the fight. Jacobs offered to donate 10 percent of the gate to groups helping Jewish refugees. Louis proclaimed that he was “backing up America against Germany,” and promised he would be “going to town” against Schmeling.

Cont., Joe Louis & the Jews Louis delivered on his boast, knocking Schmeling out in the first round. Americans cheered, and African Americans and Jews celebrated the loudest. In their eyes, Louis had vindicated American democracy. In 1946, after the world had learned how brutally far the Nazis had carried their racial theology, a story in the American Hebrew praised Mike Jacobs for giving Joe Louis the opportunity to strike “a terrific blow to the theory of race supremacy.”

While Schmeling’s defeat did not save European Jewry from the Nazi killing machine, Louis’s knockout helped American Jews believe that

members of an American minority could defeat Germans. The lesson was not lost on the hundreds of thousands of American Jews who fought against Germany in World War II. ***************************************************

A Musical Comedy of Biblical Proportions

This tuneful Kleban Award-winning musical brings to life the real psychological phenomenon that makes ordinary tourists in Jerusalem come to believe they are figures from the Bible. When a host of characters

including Noah, Jesus, God, and not one, but two, Virgin Marys are led by Moses in an Exodus from the hospital psych ward, the result is a journey that is both hilarious and heartwarming.

Jewish Food

Latkes

A pancake-like structure not to be confused with anything the House of Pancakes would put out. In a latka, the oil is in the pancake. It is made with potatoes, onions, eggs and matzo meal. Latkas can be eaten with apple sauce but NEVER with maple syrup. There is a rumor that in the time of the Maccabees they lit a latka by mistake and it burned for eight days. What is certain is you will have heart burn for the same amount of time. It's a GOOD thing.

Matzoh

The Egyptians' revenge for leaving slavery It consists of a simple mix of flour and water - no eggs or flavor at all. When made well, it could actually taste like cardboard. Its redeeming value is that it does fill you up and stays with you for a long time. However, it is recommended that you eat a few prunes soon after.

Kasha Varnishkes

One of the little-known delicacies which is even more difficult to pronounce than to cook. It has nothing to do with Varnish, but is basically a mixture of buckwheat and bow-tie macaroni (noodles).Why a bow-tie? Many sages discussed this and agreed that some Jewish mother decided that 'You can't come to the table without a tie' or, G-d forbid 'An elbow on my table?'

Blintzes

Not to be confused with the German war machine. Can you imagine the N.J. Post 1939 headlines: 'Germans drop tons of cheese and blueberry blintzes over Poland - shortage of sour cream expected.' Basically this is the Jewish answer to crepe Suzette.

Kishka

You know from Haggis? Well, this ain't it. In the old days they would take an intestine and stuff it. Today we use parchment paper or plastic. And what do you stuff it with? Carrots, celery, onions, flour, and spices. But the trick is not to cook it alone but to add it to the cholent (see below) and let it cook for 24 hours until there is no chance whatsoever that there is any nutritional value left.


Kreplach

It sounds worse than it tastes. There is a Rabbinical debate on its origins. One Rabbi claims it began when a fortune cookie fell into his chicken soup. The other claims it started in an Italian restaurant. Either way it can be soft, hard, or soggy and the amount of meat inside depends on whether it is your mother or your mother-in-law who cooked it.

Cholent

This combination of noxious gases had been the secret weapon of Jews for centuries. The unique combination of beans, barley, potatoes, and bones or meat is meant to stick to your ribs and anything else it comes into contact with. At a fancy Mexican restaurant (kosher of course) a youngster, who had just had his first taste of Mexican fried beans, commented: 'What! Do they serve leftover cholent here too?!' Next time try something unusual for guests: make cholent burgers for supper. The guests never will come back.

Gefilte Fish

A few years ago, problems with filter in a fish pond caused a few fish to get stuck and mangled. A five year old boy looked at them and commented 'Is that why we call it 'Ge Filtered Fish'?' Originally, it was a carp stuffed with a minced fish and vegetable mixture. Today it usually comprises of small fish balls eaten with horse radish ('chrain') which is judged on its relative strength in bringing tears to your eyes at 100 paces.

Bagels

How can we finish without the quintessential Jewish Food, the bagel? Like most foods, there are legends surrounding the bagel. There have been persistent rumors that the inventors of the bagel were the Norwegians who couldn't get anyone to buy smoked lox. Think about it: Can you picture yourself eating lox on white bread? Rye? A cracker? Naaa. They looked for something hard and almost indigestible which could take the spread of cream cheese and which doesn't take up too much room on the plate. And why the hole? The truth is that many philosophers believe the hole is the essence and the dough is only there for emphasis.
